Individual resilience as an antecedent of basic psychological needs fulfillment among Italian healthcare professionals

Previous research has predominantly focused on the outcomes associated with basic psychological needs satisfaction, such as enhanced well-being, increased motivation and improved performance. While antecedents have often been examined at the organizational and relational levels, this study is among the first to empirically explore the role of individual resilience as a potential antecedent within the healthcare sector. By identifying how personal resources may relate to psychological need satisfaction, this work provides practical insights to inform interventions aimed at supporting healthcare professionals' motivation and resilience.
